Learn By Doing: Learn how to design and create costumes by making your own.

Making and designing costumes is something many fear to approach, due to the unconventional nature of their making.

As a self-taught costume designer and seamstress with 10 years of experience I believe the best approach to learning is by doing.

Together, we will come up with a design, talk about the different aspects of creating a costume for different purposes, break down the different parts of the design and work on it together - from pattern creation or augmentation to the final costume.

I can teach either on your own sewing machine or mine.

Crochet for beginners (Learn basics of crochet step by step)
Crochet can be seen as a form of creative expression, as individuals can use these skills to make unique and personalised items. From intricate blankets and scarves to delicate lacework and hats, knitting and crochet offer endless opportunities to showcase creativity and individuality. It also helps to keep the mind sharp and stimulated, and improves dexterity. It is also known to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. By focusing on the repetitive movements of knitting or crochet, the mind can enter a meditative state, providing a sense of mental and emotional balance.
